Shout It To The World (bonus track)
. . .



I just want to tell you all the things you are
And all the things you mean to me
You've been with me forever
Through the changes in my life
Through all the tears and laughter

When I find myself believing there's no place to go
When I feel the loneliness inside my heart

You're the answer to my prayers
And you're with me everywhere
You're my angel, miracle, you're all I need tonight
Give me shelter from the rain
You breathe life in me again
You're my angel, miracle, you're all I need to know, tonight

Life is just a moment
We're blowing in the wind
We're trying to find a friend
And only time can tell us
If win or if we lose
And who will stand beside us

When there's darkness all around me
You're the light I see
When I need someone to ease my troubled mind

You're the answer to my prayers
And you're with me everywhere
You're my angel, miracle, you're all I need tonight
Give me shelter from the rain
You breathe life in me again
You're my angel, miracle, you're all I need to know, tonight

You're all I need tonight
All I need tonight
All I need tonight
You're my angel

You're the answer to my prayers
And you're with me everywhere
You're my angel, miracle, you're all I need tonight
Give me shelter from the rain
You breathe life in me again

. . .



As I was walking down a path in the woods one day 
I came across a vision that caught my eye

There was a lady standing right there beside a well
And I heard her whisper
what you wish for you can have

Then the vision went away
I thought that I had lost her
The girl I had been waiting for
I can't believe I just saw her
She is the finest thing, I ever could imagine
Now I want her next to me, cause I want, cause I want more
Whoahhhh

Come to me my Cinderella 
Straight to my wishing well and
You're the one I'll always cherish
I ya ya ya ya ya
Come to me my Cinderella
Straight to my wishing well and
You're the one I'll love forever
I ya ya ya ya ya 

She is a gentle flower, she is the sun and rain and
She could be the reason for my joy and my pain
The first thing I see each morning, the last thing I see at night
You know if I could have all that
That's all I wish for in my life

Why did she have to go
What do I say to find her
This girl is the only one
I cannot deny her
She's making love to my mind
And I can't forget this feeling
It's her voice that's calling
It's her voice I need
Whoahhh

Come to my my Cinderella
Straight to my wishing well and
You're the one I'll always cherish
I ya ya ya ya ya
Come to my my Cinderella
Straight to my wishing well
You're the one I'll love forever
I ya ya ya ya ya

Ohhh Cinderella
Ohhh Cinderella
Ohhh Cinderella
You're all that I want
You're all that I need
Come back to me now
Cinderella

Come to me my Cinderella
Straight to my wishing well and
You're the one I'll always cherish
I ya ya ya ya ya
Come to me my Cinderella
Straight to my wishing well
You're the one I'll love forever
I ya ya ya ya ya

Every night and every day my heart feels the pain
I wake up to the thought of you and I call your name
No one ever made me feel the way you do
Nothing in this world I wouldn't do for you
But now I've got to let go

We don't stand a chance
In this wild romance, my tender heart
Maybe it's wiser to walk away and love again
With my tender heart.
We don't stand a chance
In this wild romance, oh it hurts so bad
Knowing that I'm not the one you want
I can't hold on to my tender heart

I never thought I'd be the one who would play the fool
But I know love can feel so good and can be so cruel
It's clear to me the writing is on the wall
It's clear to me that you don't really love me at all
And I can't go on this way

We don't stand a chance
In this wild romance, my tender heart
Maybe it's wiser to walk away and love again
With my tender heart.
We don't stand a chance
In this wild romance, oh it hurts so bad
Knowing that I'm not the one you want
I can't hold on to my tender heart

I'm standing at the door
Don't need this hurt no more
I'm crying out in vain
Cause you don't feel my pain.

Maybe it was always going to be this way
Maybe I'll look back and understand some day
But now I've got to say
We don't stand a chance
In this wild romance, my tender heart
Maybe it's wiser to walk away and love again
With my tender heart.
We don't stand a chance
In this wild romance, oh it hurts so bad
Knowing that I'm not the one you want
I can't hold on to my tender heart

. . .



One kiss, intrigue
You're all alone with me
So much, delight
I want to be with you tonight
Champagne, caviar
One moon under the stars
One look, I'm sure 
I only wanted to be with you

Girl I knew
When you walked into the room
There was nothing I could say
You took my breath away
So much love
So much passion in the air
When I looked into your eyes
I realized

Tell me now 
Am I feeling what I'm feeling
‘Cause my heart's on fire
And it will not fade away
Only you could be 
My one love forever
Just tell me you'll stay
And the two of us will dance the night away

We'll dance the night away

Soft lights, romance
We talked, and then we danced
I held you close to me
Girl, you are my ecstasy
Your lips, and your hair,
The way you touch me, girl I swear
Only you could take me there
I had to be your lover

You're the one, you're the only one
And it feels so good to me
It's like destiny
‘Cause in my mind, in my heart and soul
I believe the time is right
To just let go

Tell me now 
Am I feeling what I'm feeling
‘Cause my heart's on fire
And it will not fade away
Only you could be 
My one love forever
Just tell me you'll stay
And the two of us will dance the night away

We'll dance the night away

Girl I knew
When you walked into the room
There was nothing I could say
You took my breath away
So much love
So much passion in the air
Just to look into your eyes
I realized

Tell me now 
Am I feeling what I'm feeling
‘Cause my heart's on fire
And it will not fade away
Only you could be 
My one love forever
Just tell me you'll stay
And the two of us will dance the night away

Tonight, if you're ready it's time
Tonight, we can make it feel so good tonight

You say you're ready
to be mine
This could be the right time
Got this feeling deep inside
And what I'm feeling, I just can't hide
So tell me
Are you looking for the time of your life
Let me know if you're ready to go 
There'll be no hesitation, what feels right is right
It's all up to you, what are you going to do

Tonight, if you're ready it's time
I can feel it in the air tonight
Tonight, we can make it feel so good tonight

Get lost in the magic, lose control
Free your body, let's go
Feel the fire, it's burning hot
Feel the fire, just can't stop

So tell me
Are you looking for the time of your life
Let me know if you're ready to go
Take my hand and follow me
There'll be no hesitation, what feels right is right
Everything will be fine, just put your hand in mine

Tonight, if you're ready it's time
I know what we can do girl
Tonight, we can make it feel so good tonight
Good all night girl
Tonight, stay with me
If you're ready it's time, if you're ready girl
Tonight we can make it feel so good tonight

The clock is ticking, girl decide
If you're ready, let's ride
If you follow, what's on my mind
A night of passion, is what you'll find

So tell me
Are you looking for the time of your life
Let me know if you're ready to go 
I need to know
I need to know

There'll be no hesitation, what feels right is right
Girl, it's all up to you, what are you going to do
Tonight, if you're ready it's time
It's all right
It's all right

Tonight, we can make it feel so good tonight
I can make it feel so right
I can make it feel so right


. . .



Every time I see you and I look into your eyes 
There' a feeling that I get 
And it's way down deep inside, girl 
I've been trying to hold on, but you say that you're not sure 
I just hope you realize what my heart is going through 

How long, must this feeling go on 
How long, must I stand the pain and 
How long, must this feeling go on 
Waiting for the night 
Waiting for the right time to come 

I know all about the hurt and and the problems in the past 
I know why you scared of love, 
'Cause you think it just wont last long 
Well, I'm here to tell you what I'm saying is all true 
There ain't nobody else in life 
That can take the place of you 

How long, mut this feeling go on 
How long, must I stand the pain and 
How long, must thisfeeling go on 
waiting for the night 
Waiting for the right time to run 

Why can't we just run away, and oh run 
A place were we can be alone and nobody finds us, run 
Can we both just run away, and oh run 
Girl I can't wait to have you 

How long, must this feeling go on 
How long, must I stand the pain and 
How long, must this feeling go on 
Waiting for the night 

. . .



Hey, can you tell my heart is aching 
You, It's only you that's on my mind
I, I can not fight this feeling
Now, now I know why love is blind

From the top of my world to the bottom of my heart
Just the way that you are, you're the one my shining star
Everything that you do, everything that you might say
You're the love of my life, don't you ever go away

Love, I feel my heart could beat forever
Kiss, when it's slow with tenderness
Touch, when we're making love it's heaven
Time, girl with you, there's only bliss

From the top of my world to the bottom of my heart
Just the way that you are, you're the one my shining star
Everything that you do, everything that you might say
You're the love of my life, don't you ever go away
Don't you ever go away

You are everything I wanted
And I would love to love you girl
To the end of time

From the top of my world to the bottom of my heart
Just the way that you are, you're the one my shining star
Everything that you do, everything that you might say
You're the love of my life, don't you ever go away


. . .



I Used to think that we've come too far to give up now
Now I see that you're really not the one for me
I constantly try to show my love, do everything
But now I think if I voice my love how wrong could it be

I never knew it before, I always thought I'd be sure
I plan to be with only you forever
But how can we just go on
Now that I know it's so wrong
We can't spend another day together

You should go, I no longer feel like wasting time
With you, goodbye, cause I don't need you with me
It's time you know, that all the things we had that felt so good
Were wasted time, and it's all because of you

I was blind, couldn't see the writing on the wall
In my mind, you were the only one to be with me
I can't believe, that it took so long to figure out
The games you play, now the truth is clear I have no doubt

I never knew it before, I always thought I was sure
I plan to be with only you forever
But how can we just go on
Now that I know it's so wrong
We can't spend another night together

You should go, I no longer feel like wasting time
With you, goodbye cause I don't need you in my life
It's time you know, that all the things we had that felt so good
Were wasted time, and I won't waste my time with you no more
You should go, I don't wanna feel like wasting time
With you, goodbye, you can leave, you can leave
It's time you know, that all the things we had that felt so good
Were wasted time, and I never knew

I never knew it before, I always thought I was sure
I plan to be with only you forever
But how can we just go on
Not when I know it's so wrong
We can't spend another night together

You should go, I no longer feel like wasting time
With you, goodbye
It's time you know, that all the things we had that felt so good
Were wasted time
Everything I tried to do, but it did not work
You should go, I no longer feel like wasting time
With you, goodbye
It's time you know, that all the things we had that felt so good

How could this happen, I don't understand
Falling in love was just not in my plan
But I want you to know,
You just got a piece of my heart

I've been through the changes
I've walked through the pain
I've told myself I would never do this again
But I want you to know,
You just got a piece of my heart

‘Cause love has been a stranger,
Love has been cruel
Lovin's made me feel like the world's one and only fool
And I promised myself I would never trust my heart again

I protected my feelings
I fought to be free
I can't believe I would let this happen to me
But I want you to know
You just got a piece of my heart

Tell me where did you come from
Tell me who sent you here
Whatever the reason, girl God made the message clear
‘Cause nobody else can make me feel the way that you do
I just gotta say
That the struggle is over
My story's true, I finally realized
I want to spend my life with you
‘Cause you are the one that changed the way I feel
And I swear I know this time it's real

Never in my lifetime, in my wildest dreams
Could I ever ever imagine the love that you brought to me
‘Cause you are the one that changed the way I feel

How could this happen, I don't understand
Falling in love was just not in my plan
But I want you to know,
You just got a piece of my heart
But I want you to know,
You just got a piece of my heart

. . .



I look at all the things I put you through
I've often wondered how it bothered you
I know how close I came to losing you
But we managed to stay alive
I guess only the strong survive
I just gotta tell you baby

Sometimes love can be so cruel
Sometimes we learn 'bout being a fool
I don't know why, girl, we've lasted so long
It may be the water
That keeps us strong

I took for granted that you'd always be there
I know it seemed at times I didn't care
I didn't know what you had given me
But with love it takes some time
But through the joy and pain, you're mine
I just gotta tell you baby

Sometimes love can be so cruel
Sometimes we learn 'bout being a fool
I don't know why, girl, we've lasted so long
It may be the water
That keeps us strong

It may be the water
That keeps us strong
You know that I'm so glad to say, oh baby
That it all turned out this way, 'cause you know that
It almost slipped away, oh baby
But we managed to stay alive
I guess only the strong survive
I just gotta tell you baby

Sometimes love can be so cruel
Sometimes we learn 'bout being a fool
I don't know why, girl, we've lasted so long
It may be the water
That keeps us strong

You know that I'm so glad to say, oh baby
That it all turned out this way, cause you know that
It almost slipped away, oh baby
But we managed to stay alive
I guess we found that only the strong survive
So I just had to tell you baby

Sometimes love can be so cruel
Sometimes we learn 'bout being a fool
I don't know why, girl, we've lasted so long
It may be the water
That keeps us strong
It may be the water

. . .



Here is my heart you can take it

There's a time in your life for believing
That impossible dream in your heart
When you find in one magical moment
The one you search for from the start
On a night like tonight when you're holding me
I can see in your eyes it's you I've dreamed of

Here is my heart you can take it
Love so strong, can't be wrong
Here is my heart please don't break it
Come what may, here I'll stay
Here is my heart, only for you

If I gave you the keys of a kingdom
If I dressed you in diamonds and pearls
It could never compare to the feeling
We have together, right now
On a night like tonight, you're everything
For once in my life it feels like heaven

Here is my heart you can take it
Love so strong, can't be wrong
Here is my heart please don't break it
Come what may, here I'll stay
Here is my heart, only for you
Here is my heart, now and forever yours

Making love under the stars
Paradise is where we are
Living it up will never stop
Dancing together
Round and round and round we go
Feel the rhythm in your soul
Nothing is going to stop us 
When we're dancing together
All night long, forever

Here is my heart you can take it
Here is my heart please don't break it
Here is my heart you can take it
Love so strong, can't be wrong
Here is my heart please don't break it
Come what may, here I'll stay
Here is my heart
Here is my heart come on and take it
Come on and take it
Please don't break it, don't break it girl

. . .



On the street, in the park on the floor anywhere you are
Something fresh, something wild, take it up like a shooting star
Cause I never found anyone like you
And you are the beat in my heart
Come on take my higher

Don't stop the music
We can make beautiful music
Don't fight the feeling
Now that we're falling in love

Take a trip to the stars, make a wish, rocket to the moon,
There you are between Venus and Mars, now you're in the groove

Cause I see the passion that's in your eyes
And you lift me up to the sky
Come on take me higher

Don't stop the music
We can make beautiful music
Don't fight the feeling
When the feeling's good, when the feeling's right
Don't stop the music
We can make beautiful music
Don't fight the feeling
Now that we're falling in love

Don't stop the music baby
Let the rhythm drive you crazy
Don't fight the feeling baby
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart

Don't stop the music
We can make beautiful music
Don't fight the feeling
When the feeling's good, when the feeling's right
Don't stop the music
We can make beautiful music
Don't fight the feeling

. . .



Here I stand
Without an overcoat in January
Where did I go wrong
I try to smile
But my heart's a heavy load to carry
Baby, now you're gone

Maybe there's a way to stop
The rain before it's falling
Maybe I'm a fool to even try

But I can't say goodbye
How can I walk away
When my heart wants you to stay
And I can't tell you why 
I know the feeling's gone and I know I should be strong
But I just can't say goodbye

Here I go
Running after dreams and chasing rainbows
Trying to hold on to your heart
I made it through another lonely night
Just thinking of you
I long to be right where you are

Maybe there's a way to stop
The hands of time from turning
Maybe it just hurts too much to try

But I can't say goodbye
How can I walk away
When my heart wants you to stay
And I can't tell you why
I know the feeling's gone and I know I should be strong
But I just can't say goodbye

Maybe there's a way to stop
The rain before it's falling
Maybe I'm a fool to even try

I can't say goodbye
How can I walk away
When my heart wants you to stay, oh yeah
And I can't tell you why 
Yes, I know the feeling's gone, and I know I should be strong
But I just can't say goodbye


. . .



I just want to tell you all the things you are
And all the things you mean to me
When I find myself believing there's no place to go
When I feel the loneliness inside my heart

You're the answer to my prayers
And you're with me everywhere
You're my angel (my angel) miracle (my miracle)
You're all I need tonight (all I need tonight)
Give me shelter from the rain
You breathe life in me again
You're my angel (my angel) miracle (my miracle)
You're all I need to know (all I need to know) tonight 

Life is just a moment
We're blowing in the wind
We're trying to find a friend
And only time can tell us
If win or if we lose
And who will stand beside us
When there's darkness all around me
You're the light I see
When I need someone to ease my troubled mind

You're the answer to my prayers
And you're with me everywhere
You're my angel (my angel) miracle (my miracle)
You're all I need tonight (all I need tonight)
Give me shelter from the rain
You breathe life in me again
You're my angel (my angel) miracle (my miracle)
You're all I need to know (all I need to know) 
Oh, tonight 
Oh, you're my angel, uh-huh
All I need tonight
You're my angel 

You're the answer to my prayers
And you're with me everywhere
You're my angel (my angel) miracle (my miracle)
You're all I need tonight (all I need tonight)
Give me shelter from the rain
You breathe life in me again
You're my angel (my angel) my miracle (my miracle)
You're all I need to know (all I need to know) tonight

You're all I need tonight 
(My angel, my miracle) 
You're all I need tonight (all I need tonight)
You're all I need to know
(My angel, my miracle) 
Oh, you're my angel (all I need to know)
My angel, my, my, my, my, my angel
(My angel, my miracle) 
My angel (all I need tonight)
My angel 
(My angel, my miracle)
